Reno-Tahoe Comedy

I think this place deserves a 5 star. Only been here once, but i must say i got a good impression of it. Its lobby is very small, but they serve a few drinks (alcohol & non) and a few snacks which i think is ok in my book considering its a local comedy club i think it works. The theater it self fits probably about 70 people– just guessing when i went there were about 40 people. The fact its underground is pretty cool. The hosts and workers serving the drinks were all friendly. Also a plus is they keep it pretty clean, thats always an eye pleaser. Id recommend to friends.

**Review Is only for the comedians **
Not one of these so called comedians are one bit funny. THEY THINK THEY ARE, but are not. Anyone who thinks these amateurs are one bit comical obviously has a boring sense of humor. The place is nice and has a good atmosphere.

Love this place! I have been going here for over 10 years, it all started way back when they had a on going Magic show before it was known as Reno Tahoe Comedy. I would take my girls and now my girls are both in their 20’s… Yup, I am that old.
I am signed up for the FREE birthday give away. So every year on my birthday I get two free tickets and get to pick my show and the show times I want to go to.
This year was amazing… My girlfriend and I laughed the whole way through the second half. The later the show I would recommend children under 16 not come. They can get on a roll and talk about ALOT of adult content.
This is just one of the LOCAL GEMS of Reno. A small underground theater gives it a personal feel. The chairs are comfy and rock. It also has a full bar that you can grab your drinks and take them in and watch the show. Plus, during the show the bartender walks around and will take more orders for more DRINKS. The bathrooms are behind all the seats and around the corner. This is the place to go and hide from the apocalypse :) Just joking but its a huge underground place.
The only Con is the darn stairs… They are step but they do have a hand rail. (no elevator) So if you have a problem with stairs or walking be forewarned. I am sure if you call ahead they would come up with another entrance for you to come in. Just a suggestion.
If you come to Reno this is the place to check out.

You never know if there are going to be good comedians or not. For us it has been ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. But for only $ 16/​person, it’s a cheap gamble.
It’s under the Pioneer Center so you have to take some steep stairs to get down to the club. Hating it for the ladies in heels and have been drinking.
The club is not in very good condition, but I imagine unless they gain popularity, the budget is not that big for renovations. I can say the seats are pretty comfortable though.
The tickets and drinks are reasonably priced and the staff is always very friendly. So wether the comedians are funny or not, its still a fun, cheap date night.

What a fun venue! There is such a variety of shows going on here. We’ve seen everything from hypnotists, magicians, comedians, etc. We especially love the Utility Players! It’s all in what you enjoy. If you come to just be entertained and choose the shows that appeal, you will be well satisfied.
The bar has a limited selection but a good variety for what they do have and great prices.

My girlfriends and I went to see Justin Rupple at the Pioneer Underground Reno-​Tahoe Comedy club a couple days ago and I have never, never ever laughed so hard in all my life. But this is supposed to be a review of the club and not the act, I suppose.
Anyway all of the acts were funny, especially the local ones. The drinks are not too expensive and you can drink while you are watching the show. The people who work at the club are very nice and the bartender was as funny as the comedians. At least to me his was.
In conclusion, I’d say if you’re looking for a night of fun and laughter, give this place a look see.

Are you looking for a good laugh… one that makes your cheeks hurt, tears fall from your eyes, and your sides ache a little? Then I highly recommend you come check out the Utility Players, an improvisational group that will bust you up. There is some really great talent here, and I was pleasantly impressed. They used a format similar to that of «Whose Line is it Anyway?», including audience participation. They are quick witted, original, creative, entertaining, and yes, even funny. I think of myself as a tough audience, too, and there were no disappointing moments at this show. This is definitely an adult show, so leave the kids at home, grab some friends and enjoy a happy hour. Then come down to the Pioneer Underground for some drinks and laughs and have a great time!
They’re here every second Thursday of the month. Go ahead… put it on your calendar Now!

Ok.
Now I know I better not try and «Review» a place with a few drinks on board and my iPhone in my hand. What a crappy review. So here is a new one.
We have been to a number of shows put on by Reno-​Tahoe Comedy. Justin Rupple was the best of the shows we have seen. Funny club comic that knows how to work a crowd. The shows are all run pretty well, think locally run though. Not all slick and smoothly ran. In fact last night they had a «Bachelor» back out at the last minute and someone from the audience stepped up. It made for a great show, but might seem a little hokey to some. I love the home grown feel of the place. Rubbin elbows with funny people and passionate people makes me feel more connected to the community and the people in it.
The space they use at the Pioneer Underground is cool. Everyone can see and there is even a small row of «comedy show» tables as well. The bar prices are good, I just never seem to have an alcohol appetite when I am catching a show at the Underground.
I did love how they bumped a handful of loud girls talking back to the comedian last night. They wouldn’t shut up and the house was on it pretty quick. They still wouldn’t shut up so they were asked to leave. So many people come to these shows expecting it to be about them. Good on Reno Tahoe Comedy for knowing where to draw the line and holding that line.
If you aren’t a stair person, you may want to check ahead of time by calling someone because it seems the only way in is down a huge set of stairs.
All in all, friendly local people running this and giving us some good flavor to our nights in downtown Reno. I will be back often.
